From Idea to Solution

kp i.center: Partnering solution for development of new products

Every innovation starts with an idea. The key for new ideas is physical exchange of experts from various disciplines, thinking styles and roles. That´s why Klöckner Pentaplast created a destination for clients to ‘take residency’ and work side-by-side with kp experts on their specific packaging needs. The so called kp i.center facilitates rapid packaging design and gives customers a truly personalized experience.

The center was conceived to meet the needs of global pharmaceutical packaging professionals, including those in operations, marketing, and procurement, for both branded and generic products. Visitors include project managers, business unit managers and engineers. The open environment offers opportunity for ideas to freely grow. A place where focused capabilities rapidly produce prototypes, which reduces the cost and shortens the time to market for new products.

kpGO: from idea to implementation

The market for packaging manufacturers is always in motion – the dynamics are greater than ever before. In conjunction, the need for speed-to-market is greater. Ideas need to come to fruition at a much more rapid pace than in the past.

To speed up the process from idea to implementation, Klöckner Pentaplast introduced kpGO.
